Hi! I have clients machines with D-Link DFE-538TX Fast Ethernet Adapter (but without CD-ROM drives). I want to install win98 SE on them from the Win98 SE CD placed in the CD-ROM drive of my Windows 2000 Server. How do I make a Network Installation Disk? PS. I do not want to install win98 on my clients remotely.

Easiest way is to just copy the Win98 files straight from the CD to the hard drive, then run it from the hard drive.... Or else use the network. So... below is what I scrounged up once when I was going to do that, but gave up cause it takes too long. Give it a whirl and hope it helps..... Format a floppy to include system files. Copy from your HDD the following fileset. Your NIC drivers 3c90x.*(example..) you will need the lsl.* files, ipxodi.* files , vlm.* files and the net.cfg file. Once you boot to the floppy, run lsl then your NIC driver, then ipxodi then vlm. That should boot you to whatever server that you have selected in your net.cfg file.
